UHMWPE Pads

Supreme’s UHMWPE Pads and HDPE Fenders are engineered to provide exceptionally low friction, high impact resistance, and long-lasting wear protection in marine and industrial applications. These thermoplastic solutions are ideal for frontal panels on marine fender systems, as well as sliding, guiding, and wear surfaces in material handling and structural contact zones. Manufactured from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) or High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), these pads are non-marking, corrosion-free, and suitable for continuous exposure to saltwater, chemicals, and UV.

Key Features:

  • Very low coefficient of friction – ideal for vessel hull contact
  • High wear and impact resistance
  • Non-abrasive to ship hulls or cargo
  • UV-stabilized, corrosion-proof, and non-hygroscopic
  • Available in various grades: virgin, recycled, colored, anti-static, or UV-resistant
  • Supplied in sheets, blocks, strips, or custom-milled pads
  • Available in colors: Black (standard), blue, green, yellow, white, orange, etc.

Applications:

  • Frontal panels of cone, cell, or element fenders
  • Sliding surfaces on quay walls, lock gates, and dry docks
  • Truck docks, loading bays, and warehouse floors
  • Chutes, hoppers, and conveyor guides
  • Piling protection and structural wear faces
